Buying my first Rolex. Rolex 116710BLNR GMT MASTER II CERAMIC-STAINLESS STEEL-BLUE/ B
After years of admiring the 116710BLNR I'm finally ready to purchase and I'm most likely going to purchase on though the Rolex Forum. I have done extensive research, but want to make sure I'm not forgetting anything. Is there anything I should look out for with this model and ask for before purchasing? Of course box and papers. Thanks!

Get picture of cyclops if you are buying sight unseen.

It seems like some of the new BLNR and LV have magnification issue.

Congrats! It's a real beauty. Flipped my 216570 for a blnr and never looked back since.

Congrats in advance! A great model.
Cyclops mag has been an issue for some and I've seen it in multiple ADs on more than just GMTs. Other than that, I wouldn't worry. |

Thank you everyone. If it weren't for this post I wouldn't have known about the cyclops issue. The search is on!

The search is part of the fun, I tried on four BLNRs before landing mine. One unit out of the four exhibits low mag.
Without this forum, I wouldn't have noticed as well. I / we await photos of your new toy.

You've done your research well. Maybe the most practical sport Rolex out there with one of the best movements in the business.
